New profile pic... Finally came to terms with the fact that I'm not a 29-year-old postdoc anymore. Ageing like fine milk.

A double feature starring Son Phan, with two installments of our work on red-phosphorescent Pt complexes appearing on the same day in @InorgChem. Check them out for some interesting coordination chem and photoluminescence. 1. doi.org/10.1021/acs.inorgche… 2. doi.org/10.1021/acs.inorgche…

Replying to @VinhDang96
@VinhDang96 gets one branch of our new @NSF funded work off to a rousing start, demonstrating a secondary metal approach to increase radiative rates and quantum yields in blue-phosphorescent Pt complexes. Now published in @ChemicalScience. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Congrats to Sungwon on her first @J_A_C_S paper, revealing new insights to improve red phosphorescence quantum yields in cyclometalated platinum. She is on the market for a national lab or academic postdoc, and whoever hires her is getting a great one. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Achieving high-efficiency red phosphorescence remains a significant challenge, especially in cyclometalated platinum complexes where radiative rates are inherently slower than their iridium counter...

Excited to kick off this search for our next inorganic colleague. If you do inorganic synthesis of any type and are looking for a TT job, we hope you’ll apply. Feel free to contact me if you have questions about the search or about being a synthetic inorganic chemist at UH.

Oh hey, it's September which means I no longer have any adjectives in my job title (for the first time in my life?). Grateful to the second-generation group members who were instrumental to this promotion. It might be time to update my headshot after 10 years...

Back-to-back @J_A_C_S . Part 2 of Dooyoung's work on extending the lifetimes and photocatalytic reactivity of charge-transfer Cu NacNac-isocyanide photosensitizers is out. With Mike Rosko and @FNCastellano (TA) and Thomas Gray (DFT). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

Dooyoung makes it an unlucky 13 (PhDs from our group) after a flawless defense on new classes of copper(I) charge-transfer photosensitizers. I had stars in my eyes watching this masterclass unfold.

The dirty dozen: belated congrats to Sungwon, our group’s 12th Ph.D.! Excellent defense yesterday on red to NIR phosphorescence. She’s hoarding all the photos from the occasion so you’ll have to take my word that the group had a great time celebrating her achievements.

Congrats to Dooyoung on his first @J_A_C_S paper, describing a sterically-driven approach to improve excited-state lifetimes and photocatalytic activity in a new class of heteroleptic copper(I) photosensitizers. Thanks to @doescience for the support. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

The view from reeasrch.gov looks nice today. Grateful to @NSF chemistry CSDM-B program for awarding us three years of support to improve radiative rates in phosphorescent organometallic compounds. Thanks to the reviewers for their feedback, whoever you are.
